    First Bob Graham Round of '07?

    Little Binnian is setting off at midnight tonight on a clockwise attempt on a 23.5hrs schedule. After attempts in June/July in previous years ended in problems with the heat he has chosen to sacrifice a bit of daylight for the cooler conditions of April (although the forecast for tomorrow is warm, out of the wind). Fortunately conditions this year are good underfoot as well. He has sufficient pacers and support but if any of you are out training for a BG later this spring do give him a wave! (He is due on Harrison Stickle around 10.30am, Bowfell 12.00pm, Scafell Pike 1.30pm, Wasdale 2.30, Yewbarrow 3.45pm and Pillar 5.40pm).

    We will let you know how he gets on.

    Should have just left Pillar now. Good luck for the rest of the it.

    (Just a pity I can't work a 24 hour clock! Never mind where ever you were at 05:44 I know you would be welcoming the dawn and the great boost the daylight brings)

    First Bob Graham Round of '07

    Little Binnian is going well. He left Dunmail at 8.15am - half an hour up on schedule after a worryingly fast leg 2. Leg 1 was pretty much on schedule - as predicted, darkness slowed him down a lot. Conditions are near perfect. I am expecting to meet him at Wasdale just after 2pm.
